Hi! :) I wandered over and really like your templates.
To start trying them out I started playing with Sweet Samurai 's profile with v.1. It works nicely, but I thought I'd see how one of the others looked. I tried the same with v.3, just putting in the same background image and it turned out just a regular pet page with everything in text?
I'm curious about that, but I also kinda like it like this. The most trouble I had was actually trying to find an image url. I have plenty of jpg's but I don't know how to have a url of them?
Anywho, thank you for the base! ^_^
@ skydreamer hello there!! I am very happy to hear you like them (:
I tested the code for v3 out on Misha and it works! What may be causing your problem is if you omitted one of the quotation marks around the image url.
So it would look like this:
background-image: url("https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011300/a011327/GJ504_Stars.jpg);
rather than this:
background-image: url("https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011300/a011327/GJ504_Stars.jpg");
You actually don't need those quotation marks! (I will probably remove them from the base code now that this has come to my attention, since it will probably be a common issue!) You can either omit them completely, or have one on the left side and one on the right, but if you have one without the other it will break the code!
As for finding urls for images, if you are trying to get a url from an image you see online, what I usually do is right click an image, then select "copy image address." That should leave you with the url (:
If you are trying to get a url for an image you have locally on your computer (in your desktop/documents/etc), I would upload the image to a hosting site like imgur. For imgur, you can click the downward facing arrow to the right of your uploaded image, then click "get share links." It'll open up a 'share options' window. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the "share link" doesn't work, so I choose the "bbCode (Forums)" link, which looks like this:

Then, to put it as a profile background, I just paste it where it should go but remove the surrounding tags.
Let me know if you have any more questions :`)
[edit]
ahh thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm happy to hear that :)
I've used the template to fix up [pet not found]'s page and I am SOOO happy with the result! Thank you, again, for making these profiles. You've inspired me to work on my pets again, which I had stopped doing for a long time. ^^
Is there a way to center the pet friend? Since she only has one, I think it would look nicer. xD
(I'm also going to be using it on a bunch of my other pets, just so you know~! :) )
@/Potion What a lovely message!! I am incredibly happy that I could play a part in you regaining inspiration for your pets, so thank you for sharing that with me, it really makes me feel great! <3 Such a great story on Andromida; I peeked at a few of your other pets as well and I'm excited to see what else you do in the future (:
Try this code for centering Celesta in her pet friends (warning that this code may not work for centering more than one pet, though!)
Navigate to this part in her code (it is near the bottom):
.friend_div {
margin: 8px 9px!important;
}
Replace that with this:
.friend_div {
float: none;
margin: 10px auto!important;
}
It should work - I tested the changes live at Asher!
If you would like to change the amount of white space below the friend, you can increase it like so:
margin: 20px auto!important;
(or use any number greater 10). You can also decrease it to 0 (or even negative).
Let me know if you have any questions (:
Thank you so much, and thank you for the compliments blush! I've been very critical of my writing lately, you have no idea how much it means. <3 I have so many ideas for my pets, it's just hard to translate them from my mind onto ...uh..."paper"? xD
The code worked and looks so much better. (I don't plan on giving her anymore friends, hence my question).
I know you worked hard on these templates to make them for people, and you're so very kindly sharing them, it's the least I can do. I can't thank you enough. ^^
I am SO appreciative of what you've put out for everyone to use! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was able to start working on most of the pet profiles now, all because of you! <3

: i just wanted to swing by and commend you for making such a clean, easy to edit template. god damn does it look nice. i put one on anteros just to fiddle with it and wow was that fun to do. you be givin me hope man. ❤️
So I used your awesome glass profile for my pet Apple White and was wondering (since I played with it a LOT and used the credit section for something else) if it was possible to get my new credits section to go under the treasure chest?

Thank you so much for doing this, your glass template are amazing! I used one for my pet Yuri and looks really good -

These are really nice. One question, is there a way to add stats?
. . . Someone told me I have two faults. I don't listen and . . . some other stuff they were rattling on about.
Thank you so much for making these! All my old profiles broke, and I had just about given up until I found this board. Honestly these look so much better than anything I ever came up with - love how clean and elegant they look!
One quick question if you wouldn't mind: I used the glass template on my pet Ramon, and I was wondering if there was a way to put in the "nominate for pet spotlight" link? Whenever I attempt to put it in, I just get this gray box next to my pet image.
Thanks again!
You do have him turned on for spotlight right? Which one did you use? Original, Minimal, or Floating? I may be able to help since I played with this code a LOT for Apple White.

Omg, I'm such an idiot, haha. I had totally forgotten that pets need to be turned on for spotlight - I guess this is what happens when I'm away for a bit, lol. Thank you so much!!
No worries dear! I forgot that for Apple too when I did her profile!

i love these profiles and will be messing around with them for my pet Sherb today
i just wanted to let you know that a few of the live examples are no longer up (example 3 on v1, and example 1 on v2)
